Colorado Nail Technician License Vocabulary Game

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 20 CO Nail Tech terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Colorado Office of Barber and Cosmetology Licensure (DORA) / PSI Services content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

Colorado requires applicants to be at least 16 and to complete 600 contact hours or 20 credit hours at a DPOS- or CCCS-approved school or an approved apprenticeship (C.R.S. 12-105-111; 4 CCR 731-1, Rule 1.2). Applicants then apply through PSI and pass the PSI practical test followed by the PSI theory test. Proof of lawful presence is no longer required under SB21-077.

The PSI theory test has 60 scored multiple-choice questions plus 5 unscored experimental questions, with 90 minutes to finish and a 70% pass mark. The outline is 50% Safety and Infection Control, 18% Client Consultation and Nail Analysis, 10% Skin Care, and 22% Nail Care. It has no separate Colorado-law section.
